BELKIN UPGRADES WEMO APP WITH NEW FEATURES FOR THE WEMO LIGHT SWITCH

Belkin,
creator of people-inspired technology products, today announced an
updated version of its award-winning WeMo App. Available for both
Android and iOS, the new WeMo app introduces new features for the WeMo
Light Switch including a customizable long press gesture, enhanced
sunrise/sunset rules, and an away mode setting.

“WeMo
constantly evolves in order to bring our users the best connected home
experience we can, which not only means creating new products and
partnerships, but also adding value to WeMo products already in the
market,” said Ohad Zeira, director of Belkin’s WeMo line. “The new and
improved WeMo App gives WeMo fans additional ways to customize their
home electronics, including deeper integration with IFTTT and expanded
control over their home lighting.”

The away mode, or simulated occupancy, setting allows users to schedule
lights to turn on and off at random intervals, making it appear that
someone is home even when the house is vacant. Away mode is a useful
security tool and provides greater peace of mind when traveling. Another
added benefit for the WeMo Light Switch is the addition of a
sunrise/sunset offset so users can program lights to turn on or off at a
preselected interval before the scheduled sunset/sunrise time for their
particular zip code. This is extremely helpful in circumstances where
the house gets dark before the sun sets in the evening.

The WeMo App also features a new benefit exclusively for users of IFTTT,
a customizable long press option. The long press lets WeMo users program
an additional setting for a press longer than two seconds on the
physical light switch button. This feature is programmed through the IFTTT
WeMo Light Switch channel and allows users to create recipes that
can interact with other IFTTT channels. For example, WeMo Light Switch
users can program the long press to automatically send a text message to
their phone when deployed or have the long press control lamps plugged
in to WeMo Switches in other parts of the house at the same time.

Availability

WeMo version 1.5.1 for iOS and version 1.1.3 for Android will be
available for free download this afternoon at the App Store and Google
Play Store, respectively.
